Edwin Edwards

Edwin Edwards is the former Governor of Louisiana, infamous for serving an 8 ½ year prison sentence for bribery and extortion. Having just celebrated his 86th birthday alongside his 35-year-old wife, Trina, Edwin remains a respected and beloved figure in Louisiana's colorful culture. At home, this self-appointed “King of Louisiana” is the patient voice of reason, trying to keep the peace between his two daughters and his new wife. It isn't always easy, but at the end of the day, this powerful and legendary figure in Louisiana politics just wants to kick back and make his wife happy.
